Mid Week Tease - How far would you go to find a lost love? #MWTease #DearDarkTales

Welcome to Mid Week Tease. Thanks
to the lovely and talented Sandra Bunino,
who created this weekly fun, myself and other author friends post a
little something for you, the readers, from some of our published works,
up-and-coming releases, and WIP (Works in Progress).

If
you loved and lost someone, what would you do to find them? Would you eventually
give up? Or, would you do anything and everything to find out what happened to them?

Dark
Tales Diaries takes you on a journey of one man and his unrelenting search to
find the lost the love of his life.

Tristan
Blackthorn never knew why the girl he loved vanished. What happened? Where is
she? These questions have fueled his need to know the answers. So, he’s never
stopped looking for her. He’s never stopped loving her. He has used everything at
his disposal to find her, including his families publishing company by creating
a submission call for erotic tales, knowing somewhere, within the words of so many,
he’ll find her.

And,
now, Tristan’s search has been brought to life. Lifted off the pages and
transformed into a world where you can hear him and the tales of others as he
reads, Dear Dark Tales...

One
of my favorite little scenes between Tristan and his sister Adelle from Dark
Tales Diaries: Volume One

“So you intend to keep up this crazy
search until you have squandered away your lifetime on the silly promises of a
girl who shared in your questionable taste in debauched lovemaking? Our father
is probably turning over in his grave; to know his son is jeopardizing the
family birthright of Blackthorn Printing, and for what?”

The path that lead me to record erotic literature would make a pretty good
story in itself. I may write it someday. It involves a
cyber-relationship with a virginal gal whose secret goal in life was to become
a full time sex slave. True Story. Her family would have NEVER
guessed! I’d been recording regular “vanilla” type books prior to that, as
a hobby, with an eye toward becoming a “real” voice actor. This gal
pointed me to a specific book and in so doing introduced me to the world of
BDSM literature (this, by the way, was right BEFORE “50 Shades of Grey” broke
huge). Rather than just read the book, I recorded it. I shared it
with her and with some other gals I’d met online. The response was
startling to me. For the sake of modesty, I’ll spare the specific
accolades. The one book led to the recording of another and then
others. The feedback continued to be really, REALLY positive. So much
so, that it occurred to me that this ‘erotic genre’ may be a niche I should
pursue. So here I am pursuing it. I still record other books
as well… but these books are the most fun *sly grin*. My background
started in radio in college. I toyed with theater, did some plays - even
did a short stint in Chicago’s famed Second City training program. LIFE
intervened however and I got ‘a real job’ supporting computer networks in
Chicago. Eventually that career ran its course and I decided it was time
to do what I really WANTED to do – Voice Act. I enjoy it and I hope to
help you enjoy your listening experience too.

Hi London! I enjoyed both those little snippets but my favorite line was "For love, Adelle, what else is there?" Loved that and yes, congrats on your audio releases. I know you put a lot of hard work into those. This is awesome!
